Projects we have funded

In November 2016, FiMT partnered with St George’s House to deliver a consultation to explore how transition is approached and managed in different settings and sectors. These transitions were examined from three different perspectives: of the individual experiencing the change; the network of family and friends around the individual; and wider societal stakeholders.

Sponsorship of the 2019 Working Together Award which honours a person, team or organisation that has demonstrated an enduring commitment and a collaborative approach, engaging with external organisations to support the sector within the wider community.

A research project (in partnership with NatCen) to explore how organizations, excluding Local Authorities and Government departments, are delivering pledges under the Armed Forces Covenant in Great Britain.

A year-long project investigating the transitional barriers for Service leavers aged 50 plus who are entering civilian employment. The study includes all three Services and all ranks.

A commissioned project to explore the transition that female Service leavers make from the Armed Forces to civilian employment.

This year-long project was the first phase of a two-phase project. The first stage focused on assessing how engagement with, and by, families works, and where it could be improved. The findings from this first phase will include recommendations for a pilot project. The proposed pilot study would be the second phase.

Understanding, supporting and serving the NI veterans’ community: a grant awarded by FiMT in partnership with the Northern Ireland Veterans Support Committee for a three year project in Northern Ireland.

A 3-year project to extend and develop the Armed Forces Charities project, including a fully redeveloped website (www.armedforcescharities.org), 6 themed reports, and an updated edition of the “Sector Insight” report.

VFR Hub provides an online knowledge repository of military, veterans and families research, resources and literature, which is free at point of access, and enables users to search for research, researchers, institutions, communities of interest, collaborative opportunities, and raise queries/write posts.

Sanctions, Support & Service Leavers. A two-year project, working in partnership with the University of York, to examine the impact of the benefits system on veterans and their families.
